Fall Homecoming, sched uled for Saturday, October 21, will have all the good features of past years, and some new advantages. Be cause of the facilities of the Campus Center, it is now pos sible to serve a luncheon for alumni and other friends not involved in sorority and fra ternity affairs. The Campus Center also provides ample space for fellowship indoors in case of bad weather. Registration and the parade in the morning, luncheons at noon, the football game with Marietta in the afternoon, the "O" Club Dinner, the play and the Homecoming Dance are all part of the program of the day. Both Arbutus and Greenwich are celebrating sil ver anniversaries, and will have special events. Sororities and fraternities and other groups will notify members of details, and an announce ment will be mailed from the Alumni Office. But DO SAVE THE DATE — October 21.

Class Reunions At Commencement While Homecoming is the time for renewing the old spirit of football rivalry, or sorority and fraternity friend ships, or parades and mums and queens, remember also that Commencement time brings reunion with class mates you may not have seen for years. A glance at the class re union pictures beginning on page 21 ought to remind you of your own reunion to come. Next June the classes whose numbers end in 3 or 8 will have special reunions. Plan now to attend your class meeting, and begin to get your classmates interested. We'll furnish addresses if you ask for them, so get your whole gang together, and come on down to OtterbeinI

Twenty-two Students To Study Abroad

Richard Pflieger presents Alumni Association cane to Dacia Custer Shoemaker

Mrs. Shoemaker Receives Cane With the death on July 10 of Mrs. W. W. Stoner, '93, Mrs. John A. Shoemaker (Dacia Custer, '95) became the oldest living graduate of Otterbein. Mrs. Shoemaker lives at the Lutheran Senior City in Co lumbus, and it was there that the picture was taken, showing Richard Pflieger, '48, director of alumni activities at the college, presenting her with the cane. Alumni Associa tion symbol of seniority. The cere mony was witnessed by Alice Keister Weinland, '04, also a resi dent of the Senior City, by Wil liam H. B. Skaates, 58, and Evelyn Bale, '30, TOWERS editor. Mrs. Shoemaker was born in Westerville on May 21, 1873, In a house which still stands at 89 West College Avenue, known as the "Custer house." She and her twin brother. Dale, x'95, were delivered by Dr. William O. Hanby, Jr., '67, a brother of the famous Benjamin. Dacia and John A. Shoemaker, '94, moved to Pittsburgh after their marriage, but she often came to Otterbein, and never missed a com mencement for 73 years. 4

It was through the interest and effort of Mrs. Shoemaker that the material on Ben Hanby was col lected and the Hanby House re stored. She became especially reterested in Hanby in 1922 when she co-authored the pageant pre sented at the Diamond Jubilee cele bration. She discovered the Hanby house on Home Street, where it had been moved from its original site, where the First EUB Church now stands. In 1927 Mr. Shoemaker bought the house and gave it to his wife for her birthday. From that time on, she continued her research in Han by lore, directed the restoration of the house and paid for it, and be came the first curator when it be came a museum. After the death of her husband she returned to Westerville to live in 1931. The house was given to the Ohio His torical Society in 1937, and stands not only as a memorial to the fa mous song writer but also as a tribute to the devotion of one of Otterbein's great ladies.

For the past several years, Ot terbein has conducted her own Junior Year Abroad Program for French students. A faculty member is assigned to travel with the group and direct their study throughout the year. Students from other col leges are generally included with the Otterbein group, which studies at the University of Strasbourg in France. Twenty-two Otterbein students will study abroad at seven schools in 1967-68. Paulette Rousseaux Loop, '60, will direct the program at Strasbourg, where the following students will enroll: Penny Ackermann, Barbara Crippen, Kathryn Cunningham, Susan Dietz, Cheryl Hall, Gerald Kelley, Harold Longley, Becky Morgan, Kay Needham, Nancy Pringle, Susan Schlencher, and Virginia Zunich. Four will participate in the Uni versity of San Francisco's Junior Year in Spain at the University of Valencia. They are Kathy Henrich, Sharon Ruhly, Lois Shaulis and Kathy Smith. Janet Ann Dowdy, Judy Komuro and Kathe Schrader will enroll in the Regional Council of Interna tional Education's Study Year Abroad at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Dean Rugh will attend Interna tional Christian University in Tokyo, and Kathryn Moody and Patsy Schar will attend Sophia University, also in Tokyo. Ellen Glor will participate in the Wayne State University program in Munich, and Gertrud Philipp in the Millersville State College pro gram in Marburg, Germany. Three other students will enroll in off-campus programs. They are Linda Fritz, Joan Hopkins and Judy A. Seibert. They will study for the first semester at the Merrill-Palmer Institute in Detroit. George W. Henderson, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hend erson, '29, attended the University of Hawaii during the summer. He will be a sophomore at Otterbein in the fall.

more uiiue In January, Shirley Gill wrote an open letter to the faculty after her first three months at the Univer sity of Strasbourg under Otterbein's Junior Year Abroad program, and we have quoted below from the letter. Although each student de rives a different benefit and phrases it differently, Shirley probably ex presses the opinions of the ma jority. Other Otterbein students in last year's Strasbourg group were Carol Andrews, Ellen Cochran, Janet Cook, Pat Ellis, Dorothy Goddard, Linda Joyce, Kathy Keck, Carol MacRae, Judy McNeely, Penny Red mond, and Cheryl White. John Marco and Timothy Moody spent their junior year at the Uni versity of Valencia in Spain, and Ward Hines studied at Exeter Uni versity in England. Ellen Williams, a 1966 graduate, spent the year at the University of Basel, Switzer land, and plans to stay on for the coming year. Here is part of Miss Gill's letter. Open letter to the Otterbein Fac ulty: This is the beginning of a new year: a time of reflection of last year's growth and of anticipation of what this year will bring. Who am I? Why am I here? What am I absorbing, and what am I con tributing? To these eternal ques tions I am beginning to find answ ers. Thank you, Otterbein College, for offering this program of studytravel abroad, and for the teaching that has prepared me to absorb as much as I can. And a special thank-you to Dr. LaVelle Rosselot for awakening in me the desire to come, for recognizing my interest in a different country, and for helping me to find the self-con fidence to try for the golden ring which this year is. I am a junior majoring in ele mentary education, working also for certification in French. As an elementary student, and even later, I disliked history and geography. Part of the reason was the seeming disinterest in the sub jects by my teachers. Of course, I admit that the greatest part of the

fault lay in myself. Yet here I am, in a region which has been tossed like a ball between France and Germany. Every city and town has had some historical or geographical importance. Our room doesn't have much heat, many of us lack hot running water. The telephone, which at home is considered a necessity, is a luxury here. All this is explained by a simple economic fact here: France does not have the under-ground resources to make her a rich industrialized nation. Her richness lies in the abundance of farmland and the above-theground resources. Now I under stand and will never forget it, for I've lived with the lack. I've seen castles crumbling on top of a mountain, or in the mid dle of a river. How much easier it is to understand the Middle Ages now that I've seen the country side! I've gained a whole new in sight into a tremendously important period of history. Europe was im portant at least 1600 years before America was. Every era has left its mark, and its ruins. We're used to traveling a long distance and still being in the United States. As a contrast, my roommate and I had our passports checked at two borders in a single day of travel. At vacation time stu dents leave for countries north, south, east and west of us. Each trip brings new learning expe riences. On the first real trip my roommate and I made, we learned in a hurry how to read German train schedules and buy tickets. We even learned some new words. We lost our temerity about approach ing the information room, though we do this only as a last resort. As a future French teacher, I have been offered a rare opportun ity. I am forced to use a language that is not my own. I have to speak it and the test is whether or not I am understood. I'm learning cus toms and culture, as well as the history and literature of this coun try. And finally, I am here simply as a student, an almost-adult member of society. I am an unofficial diplo mat for the United States. My ac tions are watched by students from

Shirley boards ship

other countries. I have seen enough "Ugly Americans," both at home and here, and I am determined not to be another. In meeting and talk ing with students from literally all over the world, I am widening my horizons. Challenged by different philosophies and points of view, 1 am forced to defend my own, and often that of my country. I must keep on my toes and alert to what is going on. Sincerely, Shirley Gill The students are back at Otter bein for their senior year, and Shirley says: "I visited many coun tries, met many people, did many things and had some misadven tures. I came back more inde pendent, more adventuresome, curious, and perhaps more alive than when I left. It was a wonder ful year." 5

on and off the campus Executive Committee Approves Federal Loans During its summer meetings, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees decided on the use of federal funds for three buildings on the campus, one already under construction, and two planned for the future. The Committee agreed to take advantage of a federal loan in the amount of $576,000 to be applied to the construction of the science hall addition, now under way. This loan was secured through the Higher Education Facil ities Act of 1965, administered by the Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare. In April, 1966, Otterbein received a federal grant of $300,000 on the $1,436,250 building, and the balance has been supplied by Focus on Achievement funds. The Executive Committee also accepted a federal loan of $205,000 to construct a new health center. This loan came from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's College Housing Loan Program, authorized by the Housing Act of 1950. Construction of the health center will begin in the vicinity of the Campus Center as soon as architect's detailed plans are completed. It will be equipped with eight beds, an examining clinic, and an area for the treat ment of out-patients. The third action regarding fed eral funds was the confirmation by the Executive Committee of an ap plication made in July by Presi dent Turner for a grant of $657,000 to assist in the construction of a new library, if approved, the grant would provide one third of the estimated $1,971,000 building costs. Should this loan be granted, the funds would come through the Higher Education Facilities Act. President Turner indicated that the college plans to raise funds for 6

the balance of the library's cost. In addition to the amount already raised through the Focus on Achievement, the Executive Com mittee is asking the Development Board to consider launching a $1,500,000 campaign for the library and other projects.

The Thomas Lecturer, scheduled to speak twice on the campus on October 17, will be Dr. John H. Haramy, a Christian Arab born in the Holy Land. His subject for the morning Convocation program will be "Crisis in the Middle East," and at 8:00 P.M. he will speak on "In side U.S.A."

Worship Center Planned

Dr. Haramy's lectures will com bine the two emphases of the 196768 year, in which the convocation programs will focus attention, first, on domestic issues and conditions peculiar to the United States and, second, on the United States' inter action with outside forces. Areas covered by speakers in the first semester will include the arts, civil rights, education, government and social change. Although planned primarily for students, the convoca tion programs at 9:40 each Tues day morning are open to the public as far as space allows, and some programs are also scheduled for the evening.

A new worship center is being planned for the Otterbein campus, as the result of a study made by a committee of trustees, faculty members and students, and headed by the Rev. Mr. Kenneth H. Pohly, director of religious activities. The committee's report was accepted by the Executive Committee of the Board on August 5. It further re quested that a temporary place for religious purposes be provided in the interim. The committee asked that the college architect include a perma nent worship center in the longrange plans of the college, and that measures be authorized to se cure money for the building. The building should contain a chapel combining traditional and modern symbolism for worship by individuals and groups; a lounge for fellowship and small meetings; and a multi-purpose room for larger meetings and project activities, ac cording to the recommendation. Office and counseling facilities for the campus pastor would also be included. The study committee, appointed in the fall of 1966 by the Execu tive Committee, was composed of the Rev. Mr. John K. Bergland;the Rev. Mr. Clayton F. Lutz, Mrs. Waid Vance, Miss Patricia Schar, and Ted Noble, in addition to the chairman. Miss Schar and Mr. Noble were students when the study began, and Mr. Noble since has graduated.

Other speakers on the first se mester schedule include President Lynn W. Turner in the opening con vocation on September 19; Theo dore SolotarofF on October 3; Charles L. Mann, October 10; Ber nard J. Wohl, October 24; James Deakin, October 31; Meno Lovenstein, November 7; Herbert C. Mayer, November 14; Jack S. Mor rison, November 21; Alex Haley, November 28; Lowell Bridwell, De cember 5; and Ethel Alpenfels at 9:40 A.M. and at 8:00 P.M. on January 9.

Freshmen Start September 9 Freshman Orientation will be conducted for more than a week before the beginning of classes this September. Freshmen will ar rive on Saturday, September 9, and classes for all students will begin at 7:45 A.M. on Monday, September 18.

Students Have Special Opportunities Thornes W. Crane was one of only eleven "exceptional" under graduates (the only one from a small college) to be chosen for Battelle Memorial Institute's unique research school for the summer. Fifteen members of the group hold bachelor's or master's degrees. Since the program was inaugu rated in 1957, a total of 326 under graduate and graduate students have been enrolled in the combina tion research - orientation - reporting project. Participation is limited to those highly qualified youths who have completed junior class work in an engineering or scientific dis cipline that is of interest to the in stitute, and the students are em ployed to help with projects and write a comprehensive technical report of their research. Two Otterbein girls are among six students who were awarded National Science Foundation grants valued at $600 each for a 10-week study at Ohio State University this summer. They are Marilyn Miller of Columbus and Mary Alice Feagin of Youngwood, Pennsylvania. The course is designed for students planning careers in scientific teach ing or research.

Artist Course Announced The 1967-68 Artist Series will include six numbers, with the first scheduled for October 6. Season tickets are available for reserved seats, at $9.00, savings of $4.50 on the series. They may be pur chased by sending a check to the Otterbein College Artist Series, Westerville, Ohio 43081. Carlos Montoya, with his flamen co guitar, will appear on October 6; the Roger Wagner Chorale on November 3; Young Uck Kim, vio linist, November 17; the Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia, Feb ruary 6; the French National Dance Company, March 15; and the Na tional Players in "Much Ado About Nothing" on March 22. All pro grams begin at 8:15.

Receive Air Force Grants Terry McCammon, a senior; Harley Gill and Jean Pierre O'Neal, juniors; and Glen D. Shaffer, a sophomore, have been selected for Air Force ROTC financial grants for the remainder of their college years, providing they continue to qualify. Shaffer, the son of Col. and Mrs. Glen C. Shaffer, '32 (Zelma Shauck, '34) is the first Ot terbein student to qualify for the award after only one year in the program. The grants provide full tuition and fees, allowance for books, and $50 per month during the tenure of the grant. Criteria for selection include scholarship, high scores on the AF Qualifying Test, satisfactory medical qualifications, and high personal and moral standards.

Bag—Where is Otterbein Going?" Alumni Club presidents are urged to attend or have their club represented. Otterbein needs con stant help from alumni and alumni clubs as she prepares to meet the challenges of the future.

Alumni Club News Indianapolis: A picnic meeting was held at the home of Paul and Ruth Moore, '51, on July 15. A good turnout was reported and the food was especially tasty and plentiful. President and Mrs. Turner repre sented the college. A fall meeting prior to the Otterbein-Indiana Cen tral football game is the offing.

"O" Club News How Much Does It Cost? The question of comparative costs of a college education is of prime importance to prospective students and their parents. Otter bein, along with all other good colleges, has had to increase fees in order to provide a high quality of education. In addition, the alum ni and friends of the college must increase their support if this qual ity is to be maintained. A recent publication, based on 1967-68 prices, lists tuition, fees, room and board for the 43 private colleges in Ohio. On this list, Ot terbein ranks 21st, almost exactly in the median position. When only the Protestant-sup ported private colleges are com pared, Otterbein ranks 18th on the list of 27 such colleges in Ohio, with only eight having lower fees.

Alumni Officers Schedule September Workshop On September 22-23, the Sev enth Annual Alumni Officers Work shop will be held on campus. The Director of Alumni Affairs at Baldwin-Wallace College, Richard Van Almen, will be the keynote speaker on Friday evening. Workshop ses sion topics include "Those Revolting Students—Can We Provide For Them?" "Long Range Plans—Build ing and Financial," "Alumni Nuts and Bolts," and "Philosophical Grab

The annual "O" Club Football Kick-Off Dinner is scheduled for September 6th at Yarnell's Party House in Westerville. The football squad and the coaching staff will be guests. The "O" Club will also have a dinner at Homecoming, October 21, at the Campus Center. Members, alumni, friends and their families are invited. Members of the 1921 football team will be guests of honor. Dayton: The Miami Valley "O" Club held its annual meeting at Culp's Far Hills Restaurant on June 28. Officers elected for 1967-68 were: Roland Mehl, '49, President, and Jim Moore, '62, Vice President. Bob Corbin, '49, did another outstand ing job hosting the meeting. Bob Agler, '48, represented the college, while Smoky Ballenger, '39, Everett Whipkey, '42, Clare Nutt, '31, and Bill Morgan, '42, represented the Westerville "O" Club. Plans are under way for another meeting and a golf outing next spring. Westerville: An alumni golf outing was held on July 8 at Indian Run Golf course. Thirty-two golfers teed off in contests for blind bogey, longest drive, shortest putt, etc. Virgil Hinton, '34, brought two foursomes from the Canton area. After the golf, a cook-out was en joyed by all at Dubbs Roush's, '47, party house. 7

Otterbein Serves Ohio State University It is well known that major uni versities depend in large measure on the small liberal arts colleges for much of their finest talent. Otterbein's contribution to Ohio State University is a case worth noting, for leadership of its three medical colleges is in the capable hands of former Otterbein students. Dr. John R. Wilson, '38, has been dean of the College of Dentistry since 1965, Dr. Clarence R. Cole, x'41, became dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine this year, and Dr. J. Hutchison Williams, '44, has been assistant dean in charge of student affairs of the College of Medicine since 1961.

In Dentistry Dean Wilson has been associated with the university since 1940, when he was a graduate assistant in anatomy. He became an assistant professor of anatomy and dentistry in 1946, was made associate pro fessor of dentistry and chairman of the division of periodontology and dental hygiene in 1949, ad vanced to professor of dentistry in 1953, was made associate dean in 1958 and dean of the College of Dentistry in 1965. 8

After leaving Otterbein, he was a high school teacher and coach for two years, and later served in the Army Dental Corps for three years. He did graduate work at the University of Michigan and re ceived the D.D.S. degree, cum laude, from Ohio State in 1943. The list of his memberships in professional organizations is im pressive. Among them, he is a fellow and holds an honorary de gree from the American College of Dentists, and is president-elect of the Ohio State Dental Association. He has served as guest speaker be fore many dental association meet ings, has written articles for pro fessional journals, and is contribut ing editor to a textbook on perio dontology. Dr. Wilson is married to the former Berenice Molesworth, '39, and they have two children. The Ohio General Assembly cre ated the Regents' Professorships in 1965 "to recognize outstanding academic and professional service" by faculty members in Ohio's sys tem of state universities, and Dr. Clarence R. Cole is one of only nine faculty members to be so honored in two years. On July 1, he became dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, but will also continue as a Regents' Professor of Pathology.

He has served as professor and chairman of the Department of Veterinary Pathology, assistant dean for research and development of the College, and project supervisor of the University Research Founda tion. Since 1946 he has also been a professor in the College of Medi cine, teaching diseases of animals transmissible to man, and engaging in cooperative research on cancer in man and animals. Under his leadership a comparative pathology building was constructed and equipped at a cost of $2,265,000.

In Medicine Writing in a recent issue of the College of Medicine JOURNAL, Dr. James "Hutch" Williams challenged his fellow physicians "more than ever before, to be creative, imag inative and responsible." "We have been kept busy," he writes, "learning to live with in creasing urbanization, big business, big labor, big government, big Medical Center complexes and, lately, Medicare. These all seem to depersonalize us and it has been constantly necessary to remind our selves that a listening ear in hu-

man dialogue is our stock In trade and that it can bridge the gap be tween persons, groups and gen erations. . . The time and setting may be different and the words and music may have been rewritten, but our basic role in this real life drama is still the appreciation of the other man as he really is in the here and now. What could be greater than to be alive today in such a setting?" Dr. Williams serves as assistant dean in charge of student affairs of Ohio State University's College of Medicine and as associate pro fessor of obstetrics and gynecology. He is chairman of the Committee on Admissions of the College of Medicine and of the Committee on Student Appraisal of the College, and serves on the Council on Ad missions and Registration of the University. His private practice is in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, and his major research is in genital cancer and perinatal mortality. He serves as associate director of the Center of Perinatal Studies. He has been elected as a diplomate of the American Board of Ob stetrics and Gynecology, as a fel low of the American College of Surgeons, and a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. He serves on the Group on Student Affairs of the Association of American Medical Colleges. Dr. Williams holds both the M.D. degree and the Master of Medical Science degree from Ohio State University. He served for two years as a captain in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Army, resuming his practice and teaching in 1954. Mrs. Williams (Helen Knight, '43, and her husband have four chil dren, one of whom (Sara Jane) is a student at Otterbein.

Veterinary Medicine Dean Cole is only the third vet erinary pathologist ever to serve on the executive council of the In ternational Academy of Pathology, and is vice chairman of the In ternational Committee on Toxoplas mosis. He is a past president of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, was chairman of the

Board of the American Veterinary Medical Association from 1960 to 1965, is a consultant for the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, and is the author of more than 80 research publications concerning cancer and infectious, toxic and nutritional diseases. He holds three degrees from Ohio State: D.V.M., M.S., and Ph.D. He attended Otterbein for two years, 1937 to 1939, before en rolling in the University. He is married and has three children.

In Many Departments Other Otterbein graduates who contribute to the education of the 40,000 students on the Ohio State University campus include Merriss Cornell, '33, professor in the School of Social Work; Dr. Donald J. Borror, '28, professor in the de partment of entomology; Dr. Roy H. Bowen, '33, professor of speech and director of theatre; Dr. Paul G. Craig, '50, professor and chair man of the department of econom ics; Ruth C. Bailey, '30, director of the International Students Program; and William M. Drenten, '51, as sistant professor of Journalism.

Economics Dr. Paul G. Craig has been a member of the Ohio State faculty since 1953. He was a University Scholar during the 1950-51 year, became an instructor in 1953 and was advanced through the ranks to full professor in 1961. He re ceived both the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio State. A frequent speaker at profes sional meetings and community af fairs, Dr. Craig was quoted by the Columbus CITIZEN-JOURNAL fol lowing the keynote address which

Paul G. Craig

he made recently to the United Community Council of Columbus and Franklin County. "A warm heart needs a big pocketbook, let's start warming up the heart . . . We already have the wherewithal to do whatever we want to do," the article quotes him as stating. "Unfortunately," he said, "most of the problems of a growing com munity touch all—rich and poor, core-city dwellers and suburban ites." Dr. Craig studied at the Institute of Basic Mathematics for Applica tion to Business, Harvard University under a post-doctoral fellowship from the Ford Foundation while on leave in 1959-60; and participated in the Stanford-lran Management program in Teheran, for top Iranian administrators. He served as visit ing professor in the Pennsylvania State University Executive Manage ment program in 1957-58, and as a visiting professor at the Univer sity of Hawaii in 1962-63. He is the author of several mono graphs and articles in his field, and holds membership in a number of honorary and professional socie ties. He is married to the former Margaret Ashworth, '49, and they are the parents of two daughters. 9

that University. He attained his present rank as full professor in 1959. He has been elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Ento mological Society of America and the Ohio Academy of Science, and holds membership in other learned societies. He is a past president of the Columbus Audubon Society.

Donald J. Borror

Merriss Cornell

Entomology Social Work Professor Cornell has been a member of the University faculty since 1935. He received the mas ter's degree from Ohio State in 1937, and has had additional grad uate work at Columbia University and at Ohio State. He was promoted from instructor to assistant professor in 1946, to associate professor in 1954 and to professor in 1960. He served as secretary of placement for the School of Social Work from 1955 to 1962 and a lecturer in the Col lege of Medicine from 1954 to 1960.

He has written articles for professional journals and research monographs for the Bureau of Business Research of Ohio State. 10

Dr. Donald J. Borror is widely known for research, particularly for his studies of dragonflies and, more recently, for new developments in the analysis of bird and insect songs. Since 1948 he has been making tape recordings of many bird and insect songs and has released one long-playing record on insect songs through the Cornell University Press and three records on bird songs through the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. Two more longplaying records are being released through the National Wildlife Fed eration and Dover Publications. He is co-author of "An Introduc tion to the Study of Insects," an entomology textbook published by Rinehart and Co., and of many articles in scientific publications.

Alumni in the news In the field of Medicine . . .

Lucile Gerber Ritter

Auxiliary President Installed The new president of the Wom an's Auxiliary of the American Medical Association is an Otterbein graduate. She is Mrs. Karl Ritter (Lucile Gerber, '24), of Lima. She was installed during the aux iliary's annual convention in At lantic City June 18-22, and was the guest of honor at a special re ception. As an example of the work of the Auxiliary, two young Vietnam ese mothers are being trained at Georgetown University School of Medicine in a short-term special ized medical course, under the newly established Vietnamese Stu dent Aid Project. Mrs. Ritter is the wife of a gen eral practitioner, also a graduate of Otterbein, in the class of 1925. She has served previously as treasurer, finance chairman and AMA Education and Research Foundation Committee chairman, has been an auxiliary member for 25 years, and founded the Lima12

Alien County Auxiliary. In recognition of her services and achievements, the new presi dent was named Lima's "Woman of the Year" in 1951. She has served on the boards of the Lima Community Welfare Council; Child and Family Service; Mental Health Association, and the League of Women Voters. She is a past presi dent of the YWCA, Lima Open Forum and the American Associa tion of University Women, and a state officer of AAUW in both Ohio and Indiana. A professional librarian, Mrs. Ritter was county chairman of Ohioana Library for 15 years and, until 1960, spent one day each week as librarian in a local hos pital. That year, after having worked for some time to help es tablish a Lima Branch of Ohio State University, she became its librarian when the school opened. In 1964 and 1965, scholarship awards to the O.S.U. Lima Campus were named and given in her honor. In addition to her degree from Otterbein, Mrs. Ritter holds a li brary science degree from Western Reserve University.

Otterbein Graduate Given WR Alumni Award Dr. A. C. Siddall, '19, long-time resident and physician in Oberlin, was honored at the annual Alumni Day Banquet of the School of Medi cine of Western Reserve University on May 24th, when he was pre sented the 1967 Alumni Award. The framed and illuminated cer tificate reads: "Western Reserve University Medical Alumni Associa tion takes pride in presenting the 1967 Alumni Award to Alcines Clair Siddall, M.D., Class of 1922, in recognition of his distinguished career as a physician, missionary, teacher and scholar. He has long brought honor to his medical school,"

A. C. Siddall

After receiving his M.D. degree from Reserve's School of Medicine, Dr. Siddall interned at the Cleve land City Hospital, and in 1923 went to Canton, China as a medi cal missionary. He remained there until 1933, making significant con tributions in his field. Among these were the development of a milk substitute from soy beans for in fant feeding and evolving a new type of test for pregnancy known as the Siddall Test. On his return he entered pri vate practice in Oberlin where he is a member of the staff of Alien Memorial Hospital and the Oberlin Clinic. He was also active in the development of the Oberlin Plan for Community Health Services. He served as senior clinical in structor in the department of ob stetrics and gynecology at Reserve's Medical School from 1955 through 1958, and has served the Medical Alumni Association as a member of the Board of Trustees. TOWERS salutes Dr. A. C. Siddall as a splendid example of the many men and women of high profes sional excellence who received their undergraduate degrees at Ot terbein and who have distinguished themselves in the field of medicine.

Robert H. Cavins

Eight of Bob Cavins' students have received doctor's degrees in chemistry and two others are now working on them. One of his stu dents is Capt. Dean Axene, now stationed with the Navy in Wash ington, who was the first executive officer of the submarine Nautilus and the first commander of the Thresher. The honored teacher says that the teaching of chemistry has changed "almost completely" in his 41 years in the field. "We used to teach descriptive chemistry and as much theory as they needed to make the descrip tion understandable. Now, we teach theoretical chemistry and as much descriptive as we can. It's largely theoretical— more rigorous and mathematical," he said. Mr. Cavins earned a master's de gree at the University of Michi gan, and has been at Upper Ar lington High School since 1930. He is married to the former Lucile Roberts, '28.

Chemistry Teacher Honored Robert H. Cavins, '26, has been honored as the Columbus area Out standing High School Chemistry Teacher by the Columbus section of the American Chemical Society. The presentation was made after a special committee chose him on the basis of interviews with former students, colleagues and adminis trators. Last January, Mr. Cavins was featured in a COLUMBUS DISPATCH story for his unique method of finding chemists—letting them find themselves. "If a kid really wants to be a chemist," he is quoted as saying, "You don't have to look for him— he'll look for you. He wants to use the lab and he won't miss a chance when he is a potential chemist." In 1953, Cavins began opening the chemistry laboratory of the Up per Arlington High School on Tues day nights to students who wished to drop by to do original experi mentation. Ever since that time stu dents may be in the laboratory on any Tuesday night during the school year. From this idea was born what one student called "Al chemists Anonymous." 14

Michigan Professor Named Banking School Head Dr. Ross J. Wilhelm, x'41, as sociate professor of business eco nomics in the Graduate School of Business Administration at the Uni versity of Michigan, has been ap pointed Director of the Michigan School of Banking, sponsored by the University and the Michigan Bankers Association. The school brings a hundred bank executives to the campus each summer for a two-week series of lectures and study. Since 1960 Professor Wilhelm has presented a weekly radio pro gram, "Business Review," over WUOM, the U-M station, covering economic and business problems. The program is now carried by about 100 stations throughout the United States, and some 60-70 programs have received wire serv ice coverage as news stories. The topic which received the widest publicity, according to Dr. Wilhelm, was his suggestion about three years ago that the draft be

Ross J. Wilhelm

abolished and that military pay be increased to provide an incentive for young men to join and stay in the military services. His television series, "Challenge of Change," has been shown in every major market area in the U.S. He says commercial stations use such programs to meet public service time requirements, and that usually he ends up competing with Captain Kangaroo or some other such program and that the captain usually wins! Behind the scenes political activ ity during the past year has found him directing research and writing for a Michigan state representative, a probate judge and a school board trustee, all of whom were elected. His major effort in this area now is directed toward "helping George Romney get elected president and trying to find ways to keep Ann Arbor from having a city income tax." He serves on the mayor's Committee on Taxes and Revenues. Dr. Wilhelm has some 400 pub lications to his credit, the latest (co-authored with Charles Davis son) being a monograph for the University of Michigan Bureau of Business Research entitled "Econom ics Effects on the Wage-Price Guideposts."

Lecturer Recognized "Mr. Enthusiasm, the Man with the Golden Rule," is the title of an article on Dr. Carl C. Byers, '32, in the May-June issue of ACTION TIME Magazine. Carl has carried a small golden rule over a million air miles in his ten years as a public speaker, according to the writer. "Like a modern-day Will Rog ers," he writes, "Byers combines a folksy wit with thought-provok ing ideas. In his own words, he

a full-time lecturer in the areas of education, human relations, and sales motivation, joining the speak ers' staff of the General Motors Corporation. Many associations publish in convention proceedings all or part of Doctor Byers' addresses at their area, national or international meet ings. In addition, he has had two booklets published, entitled "Pre scriptions for Happy Living," and "Prescriptions for Happy Teaching." His constant involvement in community activities includes mem bership in Rotary, trusteeship of the Lakewood Presbyterian Church and chairmanship of the Facilities Review Committee of the Greater Cleveland Regional Hospital Plan ning Board. He received a master's degree from Ohio University and two honorary degrees, the Doctor of Humanics from Salem College and the Doctor of Education from Otterbein. Mrs. Byers is the form er Bertha (Bea) Durfee, '32.

Becomes University Coordinator Joseph Ayer, '40, principal of Cincinnati's Withrow High School, has resigned that post to take the newly created position of co ordinator of student affairs and guidance at Miami University's ex panding Middletown campus. He has served the Cincinnati Public Schools as teacher and prin cipal for 26 years. After leaving Otterbein he attended the Univer sity of Cincinnati on a fellowship, and received the B.Sc. in Ed. and the M.Ed. degrees. He served as assistant principal of Hughes High School and principal of Witter Junior High before assuming the Withrow post in 1960. Starting his work for Miami in August, he is an assistant professor at the same time in the Cincinnati University Summer School, and notes that there seems to be less rivalry between the schools at the academic level than on the athletic field. Mr. Ayer has studied at Xavier University and at New York Uni versity, and has completed all his work for a doctorate at the latter institution except for the thesis, which he hopes now to do.

'sells education, better human re lations, practical Christianity and good, sane Americanism.' His talks are made at sales and safety con ferences and to chambers of com merce, youth and church groups, bankers and service clubs . . . "Answering the question 'How can the human race keep pace with the space race?' Byers says: 'Sci ence and technology can never hope to build a better world un less morality builds better people. The world needs a return to the simplicity that will make the Gold en Rule a living reality.' If Carl Byers is any example, this is a philosophy of a happy, useful cit izen." After fifteen years as Superin tendent of Parma City Schools, Carl Byers resigned in 1957 to become

Inscribed on the blanket was: "In recognition of outstanding service to Ohio University since 1949 as Head Football Coach, Athletic Director and Tennis Coach. An excellent, versatile teacher of Intercollegiate Athletics, an intense com petitor, a leader of men whose great pa tience and understanding are outstanding virtues." Widdoes was national College Foot ball Coach of the Year at Ohio State in 1944 and "Ohio College Coach of the Year" at Ohio University in 1953, when his Bobcats won the school's first Mid-American foot ball championship. Mr. Widdoes began his coaching career at Massillon. He now serves as tennis coach at Ohio U.

Named Department Chairman When we learned that Dr. Ro bert T. McLean, '46, had been named chairman of the department of mathematics at Loyola Univer sity, we wrote to ask him for background material. His letter be lies any thought that the life of a mathematician might be a dull one.

Teachers Retire Among this year's retirees from teaching careers are AAr. and Mrs, Joseph Yohn of Shelby. Mr. Yohn, '26, has taught science subjects at Shelby Senior High School for 23 years, and until last year served as golf coach after reviving the sport in 1946. During those years his teams had a record of 307-90-20, won six golf titles in the Northern Ohio League and the district title in 1965. For eight years he served as reserve football and basketball coach for the Whippets, and was a sports writer for a Shelby daily newspaper for ten years. He will retain his posts as football equip ment manager and scorekeeper for the basketball team after re tirement. Mrs. Yohn (Agnes Tryon, '25) be gan teaching in Richland County schools and for the past eleven years she has taught elementary classes in Ontario Schools. She was previously employed at the Shelby Business Forms, and Mr. Yohn and his wife owned and operated a grocery store in Shelby for 17 years before returning to teaching. The Yohns were married in 1924 by the Reverend Mr. Sager Tryon, '06, and are the parents of Dr. David Yohn, '51, Richard, x'54, and Joanne (Mrs. Paul Colberg, '56). 16

Gift Matching by Industry Increases During the past several years Otterbein has received gifts from some thirty-five companies through their matching gift programs. Un der such a program, the corpora tion matches dollar for dollar (in some cases doubling the amount) given by an employee to an elig ible institution as part of its aid to higher education. Since the Corporate Alumnus Program of General Electric was started in 1954, a total of 328 gift-matching programs has been established. Conditions vary to some extent, some companies matching gifts by all employees, some only those made by em ployees or spouses who attended the college. Most corporations match gifts from $25 to $500 or $1,000, but many match smaller amounts and a few match gifts of an individual up to $3,000 or more in a single year. The matching gift program is evidence of industry's willingness to support higher education. It is also evidence of the fact that it expects alumni and close friends of the college to do their share. Whether a corporation makes matching contributions or gives in dependently, most such organiza tions depend upon the small lib eral arts colleges for much of their best managerial talent. They are therefore whole-hearted in their suport of strong institutions like Otterbein.

A list of companies which have gift-matching programs follows. In some cases wholly-owned subsid iaries have been omitted from the list, but are considered part of the program, and a few companies prefer that their programs not be publicized. Get details of your com pany's program and include the proper forms when you send your contribution to the college. The gift of an alumnus, parent or other friend of Otterbein may be worth twice or three times the initial amount.

Giving Property and/or Insurance Dr. Wade S. Miller, Vice President in Charge of Development, an nounces two methods of giving to Otterbein which can benefit both the donor and the college. He will be glad to talk with alumni and other friends who are interested.

Property

Insurance

Would you like to give away your house and ketsp it too? There is a way you can do this with spe cific advantages to you. We do not mean giving the house to the col lege in your will although many people do this, and such gifts are always appreciated. However, this does not provide advantages to you while you live.

When you were younger, you no doubt felt a need for life in surance because you were buying a home, rearing a family, and tak ing business risks. For many of you the need no longer exists. Your home is paid for, your children are educated, and your income is adequate. Consider, therefore, naming Ot terbein the irrevocable beneficiary of one of your insurance policies. Suppose you own a $10,000 policy with a cash surrender value of $5,000. This amount, or the policy's replacement value, can be claimed as an income tax deduction. If you continue to pay the premiums, they are also deductible. Thus, you can accomplish several things by such a transaction: (1) You can get an immediate income tax deduction; (2) the policy will no longer be a part of your estate; (3) you will be making a gift which for gen erations to come will help make it possible for young people to se cure a Christian college education.

Consider this attractive alterna tive: Transfer title to your property now, reserving the right to occupy it as long as you live, or as long as you and your spouse live. By deeding the property now to the college, you get an immediate con tribution deduction for income tax purposes. The exact amount is de termined by your ages from official Treasury tables and the value of the property. Example: A man and wife, ages 65 and 60, deed to Otterbein a house valued at $20,000. The "re mainder" value of such a property is $10,515 (Table III, IP's Publica tion No. 11), and this amount may be claimed as an income tax de duction. The deduction is larger for single persons. Although you can deduct only 30% of your income in a single year, you can distribute your de duction over a six-year period. There is still another tax advan tage. While living in your house, you can continue to deduct real property taxes you pay the same as you did when the title was in your name.

call from the Franciscan Fathers at the College of Steubenville to join their staff. "This started fifteen fabulous years of involvement in every phase of a young, progressive, growing liberal arts institution. I became chairman of the depart ment of mathematics in 1956 and chaired the institutional self-study committee during the successful challenge of the North Central As sociation's accrediting committee. We got into this exclusive club in 1959. I became chairman of the science division in 1964. "Paralleling the past fifteen years were two other fascinating episodes of this saga. The first of these started in the fall of 1953 when I began study toward the Ph.D. in mathematics at the Uni versity of Pittsburgh. I completed the course work in 1956 and man aged to squeeze in oral prelim inaries, comprehensive exams and research in time to defend the thesis in 1961. "The richer episode began in 1953 when Betty Weaver became Mrs. McLean. This part of the drama has been held over for a long run.
